- Espresso improves concentration and enhances physical activity. It’s also high in antioxidants and hydrocinnamic acid which helps fight free radicals from pollution and UV rays.
- Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) which encourage your body to burn fat for fuel providing quick mind/body energy. Healthy fats from the coconut oil also balance the buzz of espresso. You’ll have more sustained energy and be less jittery.
